There is a girl in the village

The prince was punished for treason, the emperor died, and the second prince succeeded!

For the common people, this kind of thing is to cry for the emperor, and then continue to live their poor life, but for the officials and soldiers, it is a big deal.Those who are officials and those who support them will naturally rise to the top, but if those who support them fail, then their heads will fall and they will be imprisoned, and it will not be long.

As for the soldiers, it is even worse. Those who support them are in positions. Of course, they can enjoy the fruits of victory if they survive. nothing.

"A Yuan, the imperial obituary has just arrived in Fencheng, and the emperor died half a month ago. What do you think we should do now?" Wang Chao was very anxious, sweating profusely.

It doesn't matter to the Song Corps who ascends to the throne. They rely on their military exploits and military power to dominate Beizhou. The court can't move them, but the succession of the second prince is very bad.

The emperor is old and weak, and he will die when he dies. The prince is benevolent and has a good reputation. How could he raise an army and plot against the emperor when he is about to die? The prince is almost thirty, and he was named prince since he was four years old. Could it be that he couldn't even wait for the last year and a half?

There are many strange things about this matter, and there are many doubts, and the senior generals of Beizhou who are familiar with Hua Erhaji naturally understand the tricks in it, especially the third princess who is a compatriot with the second prince and one mother is in the hands of Wang Chao, so Wang Chao will inevitably have to think about it .

"The general is in Fengguan, so he got the news earlier than us. Does the general have any instructions?" Lu Yuanchang asked calmly.

"There is no news yet, and I don't know what uncle's plan is." Wang Chao took a sip of tea to suppress his shock.

"The emperor's death is a major event. It cannot be concealed. If the general informs the whole city immediately to express his condolences for the emperor, he will keep the princess under strict supervision so as not to leak the news, and at the same time ask the general to tell Fengguan." Lu Yuanchang thought about it. After that, he said slowly.

"Forget it, for now." Wang Chao didn't have a good idea, so he had to accept Lu Yuanchang's suggestion.

The General's Mansion summoned officials at all levels in Fencheng to inform the whole city of the emperor's death, so the whole city mourned like a mourning concubine.Officials cry for the sake of their future, and common people cry to celebrate the death of a generation of foolish kings. They cry with joy.

The whole city was covered with white cloth, the door beams of each house, the flags of the army, and the stone lions in front of the yamen were all covered with white flowers. Fun and banquets were prohibited in the city, brothels were closed, and divas in teahouses Withdrawal, marriages are prohibited within three months, and courtiers are mourning for the emperor.

Fencheng is not the capital, and the princes and ministers don't need to be divided into shifts to cry at the mausoleum every day. When the announcement was made on the first day, those officials pretended to cry for a while, and then calmed down and inquired about the news to fight for the future.It's okay to be vegetarian in plain clothes, and it's okay to sleep in separate rooms with wives and concubines. No matter how big the matter is, it can't be as big as the situation after the new emperor ascends the throne.

But obviously Lu Yuanchang didn't think so. It was his duty to help Wang Chao. She always helped out as much as she could, but when she got home, she was kicked out of the main courtyard by Ping'er, and went into the study because of her grievances.

Of course, if she resigned to her fate, she would not be called Lu Yuanchang, and she would sneak into her main courtyard every night.Both Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu came from civilian backgrounds, and they are not used to someone staying in the house when they sleep at night. Gu Xiaofu is about to give birth, how can Lu Yuanchang let her sleep alone? I was scared, and my stomach hurt when I was nervous.

Lu Yuanchang thought that Gu Xiaofu was going to give birth, so he hurriedly called for someone to wait on him. In the middle of the night, the whole house was disturbed by the quarrel. Those who received the stable woman, those who looked for the doctor, those who boiled the water, and those who prepared the delivery room were all in a hurry. After half an hour, when Mrs. Wen saw that it was a fraud, Lu Yuanchang was so frightened that his legs went limp.

Therefore, Mrs. Wen was left in Lu's mansion, waiting to deliver the baby at any time, and the doctor was also instructed by Lu Yuanchang, not to leave the hospital in the near future, and the maids were guarding in shifts, so Gu Xiaofu must not be empty. Even so, Lu Yuanchang was still worried.

But the current situation is tense, although Lu Yuanchang wants to stay in the mansion to accompany Gu Xiaofu, but Wang Chao calls her to discuss matters every day, and she has no time to accompany Gu Xiaofu except sneaking into the main house when she returns home at night. Fu.

Three days later, news came from Fengguan that when Song Dingtian was announcing the news of the emperor's death a few days ago in the school field, the horse was suddenly frightened.Lu Yuanchang received this unbelievable news, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile.

"Ah Yuan, what time is it, thank you for being able to laugh!" Wang Chao was very dissatisfied with Lu Yuanchang's performance, and Song Dingtian broke his leg, which was really worse than ever.

"General, don't worry, the general fell just in time." Lu Yuanchang smiled lightly.

"How do you say that?" Seeing Lu Yuanchang's "treacherous" smile again, Wang Chao knew that there must be something else behind the horse throwing incident.

"Your subordinate can't tell right now, just wait for a few days and find out." Lu Yuanchang shook his head lightly, looking like a little magic stick.

Emperor Daxing died on the 27th, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum of Mangshan in the suburbs of Beijing.

The new emperor ascended the throne, changed to Yuan Yongcheng, the empress dowager, the concubines in the harem were entrusted according to the regulations, and a group of cronies who were in the hidden residence were promoted during the great dynasty.

All the ministers thought that the new ruler would have to take measures against the old ministers of the previous court to support his cronies, but the situation was far beyond everyone's expectations. The first emperor's administrative measures and the arrangement of the main personnel have not changed a bit.

But just when the courtiers were rejoicing that their official position had been preserved, the new king made a move, but his goal was not to go inside, but to border gates. The first edict issued by the new king was to call the giants Song Dingtian, Wang Shicheng, and Guo Daming to Beijing for condolences. award.

The responses from the three places were also surprisingly consistent. Song Dingtian broke his leg early and was unable to move, Wang Shicheng was rumored to be dying of illness, and Guo Daming was stationed in the west. Xixia took advantage of the Zhou Dynasty's mourning to launch an attack. Guo Daming resigned to protect the border. The emperor kindly wishes.The children of the three were all in the middle of the capital, and the three sent their sons into the palace to thank them, and sincerely expressed their loyalty to the new emperor.

"Hahaha, my uncle is really far-sighted. The new king wants to take back the border military power, but an imperial decree can't do it." Wang Chao happily patted Lu Yuanchang on the shoulder when he received the news.

Lu Yuanchang grinned hoarsely, and after Wang Chao laughed, he poured a basin of cold water in time: "General, don't be too happy, the new king's behavior is just a test. It is because the throne of the new emperor is not yet stable, and the old officials in the court have not been cleared up. When he takes the court into his hands, he will probably attack me at the frontier gate immediately."

"Oh? That's right!" Wang Chao couldn't laugh immediately after hearing that.

"Have you ever thought about it, if the first emperor passed away normally, how would the new king frame the former crown prince, how would he control the imperial army, how would he appease the clan to support him, and how would he successfully ascend the throne without the eyes and ears of the courtiers? It's not easy! Our Zhenbei army can survive under the rule of the first emperor, but it may not be able to save their lives in the hands of the new emperor. The new emperor once colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the death of the former emperor is still in doubt. General, the new emperor's move is a shocking move Ah! The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us in Beizhou, and we must put up all our energy to deal with the imperial court, otherwise, if we are wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable with this person's cruelty." Lu Yuanchang continued to pour cold water on it.

Wang Chao turned pale with fright at what Lu Yuanchang said, but fortunately he received another letter from Song Dingtian today, which made him feel better: "Uncle has received my aunt, and he will come to Fencheng to recuperate in the near future, and then we will discuss it carefully. countermeasures."

After Lu Yuanchang left the general's mansion, he went to the school grounds to practice as a sergeant. If she had intended to retire a while ago, then now she wanted to retreat but had no choice but to fight with Song Dingtian. up.

She is Wang Chao's confidant and Song Dingtian's favorite general. Song Dingtian has presented her to the imperial court for her series of great achievements in the northern border. The imperial court knows her, and the new king knows her even more.

Xinjun conspired with the three princesses to usurp the throne, and communicated secretly with Huaerhaji. Then Huaerhaji died in battle, and the entire army of Rong and Di was wiped out. Xinjun must be very clear in his heart. I don't know why I hate them in my heart.The most important thing is that the three princesses fell into the hands of Wang Chao, and it was Wang Chao and himself who fought in the Suiyuan battle. If the new king is smart, after he can't find the trace of the three princesses, he will definitely think that the three princesses are in their hands. If so, this grudge is really big!

Can I withdraw now?Of course she can retreat, but once Song Dingtian is defeated, when the new king settles, what should she do as a retired general who has no soldiers and no power in her hands? Could it be that she will take Gu Xiaofu and the child to hide in the mountains?

In the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers.As long as she is in Dazhou, where can she hide? If she takes her wife and belt away from Dazhou and makes them suffer from the pain of fleeing, then Lu Yuanchang might as well fight hard with Song Dingtian, and run away after losing!

Lu Yuanchang changed his laziness in the past few days, and trained the soldiers desperately. Every strong man was tortured to death by their thin generals. If anyone is not convinced, he can also challenge the general. If he wins, he will not only be rewarded with silver, but also have a military position. .But their generals are not so easy to deal with, they look thin and tender, there is no hair on their mouths, they are thin and short, they look like a woman when they think quietly, but the knife can make people kneel directly on the ground .

On the battlefield, they refused to accept and spoke with their fists. Under the successive failures, the soldiers also understood that their generals' military achievements in the past were indeed achieved by hard work.Convinced, Lu Yuanchang's nick name - Jade Face Flying General spread in the Lu family army.

"Jade-faced Flying General" is an elegant title, and it sounds much better than Wang Chao's "Black-faced God of War". Lu Yuanchang listened to Feng Huai's retelling, and couldn't help laughing: "Feng Huai, your scouting skills, now finally You have found a place to use it, and your mouth is broken like a woman, it seems that your life is too leisurely."

"Boss, don't say that. It is also the duty of the general to understand the hearts of the soldiers. You are right." Feng Huai said brazenly.

Lu Yuanchang smiled and shook his head. Feng Huai was still the same as when he first followed her. He loved to inquire and make fun. Fortunately, he had this hobby, so he could become an excellent scout.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, the Lu family's relatives came flying horses, hurried into the camp, knelt on the ground and panted: "General, husband... madam..."

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Lu Yuanchang's face changed suddenly when he heard that it was related to Gu Xiaofu, and he pulled up his relatives and asked hurriedly.

"Ma'am... Ma'am is about to give birth, the old lady asked the little one to urge you to go back."

Before the pro-military words were finished, Lu Yuanchang rushed home like a gust of wind. When the soldiers saw it, they couldn't help admiring, "Jade-faced Flying General" really flew up.
